Re: Converting RTFD to Word with embedded images

I have no problem with the RTFD format.
The document is a bundle containing TXT.rtf and any attachment files.
The attachments are referenced in the rtf file with {\NeXTGraphic …} tags.

I am creating the documents I am trying to convert by starting with RTF and adding the graphics.

I was trying to avoid learning about the insides of a Word document.
I would rather leverage existing APIs if they exist.

thanks...

(Sometimes I suddenly find an old, untouched RTFD "file" that doesn't want to open up in TextEdit as rtfd anymore, i.e. the images are no longer recognized as embedded.)  Anyway, rtf tags are fairly simple to humanly read and figure out, though it's not really a "standard".  Then the trick becomes parsing out how MSFT does it when you save one of their files with embedded images as rtf... or are they calling it rtfx or some such, now?  Make your "file" be "the same" and MSFT should import it.
